agbark top-worked to Carolina and Kentucky varieties. Note the different foliage, and smaller leaves. Here is a graft of three hickories on one stock. 7. Shagbark top-worked to Vest shagbark above and to McCallister pecan below. The foliage of this McCallister would justify putting the tree in any grounds; but here on the shagbark stock the leaves are not so large. The foliage on Mr. Bixby's was large and beautiful. 8. Shagbark top-worked to Brooks shagbark. That tree prolongs the name of one of our audience into history. 9. Asiatic Winged Walnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia). I think this would be valuable for hybridizing. 10. Grafted Woodall American (black) walnut. Nut small, thin shelled. Tree very prolific. This tree has not yet borne, but it should next year. I got that from a man near Milford, Del. The nut is thin-shelled and cracks very easily. 11. Grafted Lutz American Walnut from North Carolina. This tree is about six years from the graft. The nut is large. QUESTION: When do you have frosts here at Stamford? DR. MORRIS: The frosts are from about the middle of September until sometime in May. Sometimes we miss the September frosts. 12. Korean Nut Pine. Furnishes important food supply in northern Asia. 13. Grafted Papaw. Larger part Ketter variety. Prize fruits have weighed about one pound each. Smaller part Osborn variety No. 3, a choice kind. 14. Seedling Papaw. 15. Seedling Papaw, christened "Merribrooke prolific" with clusters of fruit of the first year's bearing. Five bunches on the tree and it is the first year out from the nursery. It is a very beautiful tree for the lawn. The growing season of pawpaws is so long that a hard September frost may catch the fruit before it is ripe in this locality. Fruit will stand a light frost only. 16. Chinese Pistache seedling. Tree beautiful but nut too small for the market. May serve for hybridizing purposes. The autumn foliage of this tree is very wonderful. 17. Grafted Wolfe persimmon. Ripens fruit in July or August. This is an ordinary size fruit but the peculiarity is that it ripens before the others do. 18. Grafted Cannaday seedless persimmon. You see another member of our party has gone down to fame with this Cannaday seedless persimmon. 19. Stanley shellbark hickory grafted on shagbark stock. 20. Stock grafted to Kentucky shagbark. 21. Jeffrey Blue Bull Nut Pine. Nuts small, thin-shelled, rich. Eaten shell and all by the nati
